Hi Thomas, 
   Today I tried to install teTeX-3.0 on my Mandrake Linux 10.0. The
installation procedure has ended normally. However, I have the same problem
mentioned by Zeljko. texconfig could not find "tcfmgr.map" although it is in its
place:

[root@picasso tetex-src-3.0]# texconfig init
tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found.
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
texlinks: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
updmap: config file updmap.cfg not found.

[root@picasso tetex-src-3.0]# kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf

[root@picasso tetex-src-3.0]# ls /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/texconfig/
g/  generic  README  tcfmgr*  tcfmgr.map  v/  x/


While configuring, I both tried "--prefix=/usr/local/teTeX/" and
"--prefix=/usr/local/teTeX" . But the problem is the same.

What could be the problem? Thanks in advance.
